Our Picks: San Diego Summer Craft Cans

Summertime is here, and more San Diego breweries than ever are putting their tasty imbibements into aluminum cans. So before summer really heated up, it seemed like a perfect time to highlight some local canned releases we feel are best enjoyed during the summer months.

After all, hot weather calls for refreshing, lighter bodied, low in ABV crushable beer, and that’s what we tried to curate for this list. At the same time, we also looked for some creativity in both variety and style choices. In other words, with San Diego being an IPA town, we really made an effort to select as few as possible of that style.

We’ll let you decide how you want to enjoy your craft cans: camping, hiking, fishing, BBQ, bonfire, biking, or backyard hangout. That’s the beauty of aluminum cans — they go anywhere. These locally canned beers we will be a staple in our fridge (or cooler), and kept in heavy rotation through the dog days of summer. Cheers!
